(...) AFAIK, yes - most CMSs, and almost all aggregators do support atom. (...) I don't think there's much of a difference between emitting Atom or RSS/LENNI, but I don't have that strong a preference. If everyone else is dead against Atom, I'll go (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)

(...) I've just looked over some of the Atom docs, but it seems very similar to RSS to me, only much newer. Is Atom supported by many current blog or web publishing software? My thoughts were that straight RSS feeds would work within the LENNI (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Same here. Good point about spec changes, Jake. I'd love to do a pro/con list of RSS/Atom, but I don't know enough yet, so I guess I'll have to research that some more. My main concern is using something that can be used by the maximum number (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.publish)
